Will The BCS Get It Right This Year?
Well the big question is after the Bowl season has ended will the BCS have the right National Champion. Of course the answer is no, but this year it is not all the BCS fault. It seems that every conference is getting better and finding the one team that is heads and shoulders above the rest is really tough. This year is no exception either. Utah stomped Alabama and finished a perfect 13-0, but will not be National Champion. USC dominated a Penn State team easily and put their claim on the National Championship tile as their’s. Now Texas is also in the picture as the third ranked Longhorns beat Ohio State 24-21 in a thrilling Fiesta Bowl in Tempe Arizona. The funny part is all have a legitimate claim to the title, but none will see it.
Oklahoma and Florida the No. 1 and No.2 teams have yet to play. Now if Oklahoma does win than Utah and Texas has a real beef. Oklahoma did get beat by Texas who right now stands third and Utah has a gripe since they are undefeated. Isn’t the BCS just great how we can never agree on the best team in College Football. Wouldn’t it be much simpler just to have a playoff system so the best team could decide it on the field. Instead we could have a National Championship team that got beat by the number two team. How about that for being fair, or a team that goes undefeated could only finish third. Wow what a fair system we have in College Football. The BCS and College Presidents should be ashamed of what they are doing. These kids generate thousands of dollars for their colleges and we cannot even do them justice by a playoff system. Hopefully somewhere down the line in a few years someone will stand up and get this thing fixed.
